Idle Warship: Talib Kweli & Res

You may have been hearing about Idle Warship, especially the OK Playa’s, but for those discovering this now, long term collaborators Talib Kweli and Res have put together a new duo Idle Warship. The genre mashing project has Talib singing and rapping, and Res rapping and singing – which I believe only works in Res’ case, but talib makes an effort. Kweli only seems to sing occasionally, so I think we’re safe.

The greatest thing to see here is the return of Res, a very talented lady who’s unfortunately been missing in action for quite some time – at least on record. Res has been living out in Los Angeles, doing shows quite frequently, and is part of a band called Fleetwood Black (co-based in Toronto with Graph Nobel).
